WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Are you seeking tools to turn your life journeys and family stories into a memoir? Wanting to document this historic moment but feeling overwhelmed? Interested in how writing your story can transform your life and maybe even the world?
With her signature irreverent wit, Faith Adiele will lead you through the 5 steps of creating a Personal History Timeline to map your memoir.
You Will Learn:
- Practical strategies for diving deep into sense-memory and the body to unearth your unique stories
- Create Metaphors
- Identify spiritual/cultural/historical themes that touch others.
- We will also review the potential risks and rewards of telling family and community truths.
New writers will leave with a notebook full of story-buds and a plan; experienced writers can apply these techniques to revisions or book blueprinting.
